Air supply connection
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler
and water separator

Fitting accessories
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before examining
or changing accessories. Examine your chisels before using them. If an
accessory is worn or cracked, DO NOT use.
1. Insert the required accessory into the head of the air hammer
2. Thread the Quick Change Spring (1) over the accessory and onto the
screw threads on the head of the air hammer
3. Tighten the Quick Change Spring (1) so that the screw threads are fully
engaged, the end loop is positioned vertically (12 o'clock position),
and the shank of the accessory is retained within the end coil, as
shown in the ‘Product Familiarisation’ image above
4. Pull the accessory back and forth several times by hand, to check that
it is securely retained
Note: Accessories can also be removed and fitted when the Quick Change
Spring (1) is screwed on to the body of the tool. Carefully push the end coil
of the spring sideways, so that the collar of the accessory can pass the
retaining spring coil.
Setting tool power
Note: This air hammer features a built-in pressure regulator.
• The tool speed can be adjusted by rotating the Air/Torque Control Dial
(4) as required
Operation
1. Grip the air hammer firmly with both hands
2. Rest the tip of the accessory on the workpiece you wish to chip/cut
3. Gently press the trigger and move slowly along the workpiece
Note: DO NOT allow the air hammer to run in ‘idle rotation’ for an extended
period of time. This will shorten its life.
Note: DO NOT exert excessive pressure on the tool - let the tool do the
work. If the material is not being cut as intended, examine the accessory
for wear and damage and replace if necessary. Consider changing to a
different accessory.
WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use.
Always bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.

Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before
cleaning or carrying out any maintenance.
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts
to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of
your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
IMPORTANT: There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool and it
should be noted that when an air tool fails to work it is generally because
the internal workings have corroded due to dirty, wet air and failure to
follow the instructions given below.
Daily maintenance procedure: Disconnect from the air supply, pour the
equivalent of a tablespoon of oil into the air intake. Operate the machine at
low speed to thoroughly lubricate all internal workings.
• If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time, a
combined filter/lubricator must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted
at all times
• Use air tool oil. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL
ENGINE OIL
• Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions may
invalidate the guarantee
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
• As with other power tools, air tools should not be disposed of with
household waste
• Air tools may contain traces of tool oil and other lubricants and so must
be recycled accordingly
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of power tools
